Clinical Hypnosis is a straightforward and simple way of treating a broad spectrum of ailments, changing fears and phobias, overcoming addictions and compulsions such as smoking and losing weight, and enhancing skills and abilities already learned by using the power of the mind. Infact hypnosis can be used for virtually every area of your life. With hypnosis, you stay in control, you do not become unconscious and you are treated with respect, and as an individual. Hypnosis is not sleep, but a natural, normal, relaxed and focused state of attention characterised by feelings of well being, increased muscle relaxation and a greater awareness of peace and relaxation.

Everyone experience light hypnotic states about 10 times a day such as daydreaming. Have you ever driven from work to home and then thinking, "I don't remember driving the last mile?" This is because your conscious mind and subconscious mind were performing different tasks.

Although we are not always aware of the presence of our subconscious it is always there. The subconscious mind is that part of us which "knows" what is required to preserve us, e.g. breathing, heart function, walking and much more that we do all the time without conscious thought.

Our conscious mind has a function known as critical reasoning and helps us make decisions based on known facts, logic, and experience, this is what needs to be bypassed when accessing the subconscious. We can all remember times when we "just knew it was right" but then we let logic convince us otherwise, the result being a missed opportunity.

Another major factor in hypnosis is that when you have access to the subconscious you can "create" new learning or memories because the subconscious mind is most receptive when your conscious mind is in this relaxed state.
